Summary
Many large corporations in the world such as Formosa, British Petroleum (BP), Volkswagen have collapsed due to fraud in information disclosure related to environmental protection (Ting, 2017) It is a warning bell for firms to raise awareness of environmental protection and publicize environmental information to related parties. Firms listed publicly on Vietnam Stock Exchange should consider practicing environmental accounting and publicizing environmental information on annual reports as a sense of responsibility and implementation of the community. This is the reason for the business community in the countries participating in The Comprehensive and Progress Agreement for TransPacific Partnership (CPTPP) cannot ignore the disclosure of information about activities and measures to protect environment. By using Environmental information disclosure on annual report as measurement of EFAP, this study is an effort to fill the gap by empirically examining the relationship between EFAP and financial performance in Vietnamese context
